MIHS GIrls Soccer held a compressed 2-day tryout session on March 1-2 and formed a Varsity and a Junior Varsity team. Practices began on March 3 to prepare for the 8 match "pod" season. KingCo created 5-team pods for competition. MIHS will play two matches against each of Bellevue, Interlake, Newport and Sammamish with no post-season play. No spectators are allowed at away games. Spectator protocols for home games are still being worked out. Follow Twitter @ MIHS Girls Soccer to follow game coverage as spectators will be limited. So glad to see many MIFC players and alumni on the rosters.

Varsity Senior Captains Avery Condor, Makena French, and Emily Yang will lead returning Varsity seniors Kaija Szylko and Madeleine McElroy; returning juniors Abbie Orndorff, Addie Waterman, Audrey Kris, Leela Jacob, and Mackenzie Hamilton, and new varsity players Caley Newcomer, Georgia Samuels, Jenna Martin, Jessica Zhang, Kaisa Olson, Katie Pedersen, Mia Shanafelt and Mimi Pietila. Coach James Valles has his sights set on a Bellevue sweep this season.

Junior Varsity players are Maija Brandt, Samantha Moeller, Lila Saloranta, Mia Nakano, Julia Harper, Katie Evans, Liv Talerman, Mia Fischer, Joey Lurie, Addie Bergman, Ella Martin, Alexandra Hyman, Addison Schiller, Amelie Schmid, Maya Lawrence, Katie Friedman, Caitlin Monahan, Christine O'Donnell, Lila Medin and Asha Woerner.
